25 Best Coffee Shops in Bloomington

“I am a fan of small locally owned coffee shops and WSP is one of my long time favorites. Thanks Mary!“

“Chai latte with oat milk and a half pump of marshmallow syrup is legit one of the best things I've ever had at a coffee shop!“

“I went here to open a savings account in person and had a pleasant surprise of a time. The employee that helped me (Amy) was incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout the whole process. Even though we hit a couple road blocks, Amy stayed positive and even gave my friends and I a free drink from the café! I ended up getting my account open and more questions than I thought I had answered. Also, the sparkling strawberry lemonade topped off this 5 star review. Amazing customer service all around, would come back here again! :)“

“This Caribou Coffee is inside the Lunds & Byerlys, which was a little confusing to me. I have zero experience with coffee and am trying to learn how to drink it, so I went in the middle of the workday and it was very quiet. The barista was friendly and helpful, and even though it took me quite a while and a back and forth for him to help me figure out what's a good starter coffee, I never felt rushed. I ended up getting a vanilla crafted press.

The store itself did feel a little strange since it's kind of just a stand inside the grocery store, which I wasn't ready for, so it's not as "coffee house vibe" as you might be expecting, though there is seating in the Lund's and Byerly's ready to eat section of the store.“

“Caribou Coffee is my go-to caffeine haven when in Minneapolis, and the Carmel High Rise is my personal love language. Whether it’s hot enough to reheat your soul, iced like your ex’s heart, or blended smoother than your favorite playlist—this drink does not disappoint.

The staff? They’re like the barista version of golden retrievers: friendly, efficient, and possibly too good for this world. Every visit feels like a tiny coffee vacation. If sipping caramel-covered joy while basking in good vibes sounds like your thing, grab your cup and join the cult—I mean, club.“

“Whether you're rolling in off the interstate or strolling over from a nearby hotel, this Caribou Coffee delivers a caffeine experience worth detouring for. The facility is clean and inviting, with just the right blend of cozy charm and modern style. The staff? Absolutely on point—friendly, efficient, and clearly fueled by the same magic they serve.

Speaking of magic, the Caramel Highrise here deserves its own standing ovation. Hot, iced, or blended, it’s always perfection—layered, velvety, and sweet enough to be indulgent without going overboard. It’s not just my favorite drink, it’s practically a lifestyle.

The location is super convenient, especially for travelers. We loved that we could walk there from our hotel, and it ended up being a highlight of our stay. It’s the kind of place that turns a casual coffee run into a feel-good moment.

If you’re in the area, don’t pass it by—this little slice of Caribou warmth is more than just a pit stop. It’s a full-on mood.“

“I cannot state more how much we love Pizza Novara! We’ve gone to Bloomington for summer vacation the past 3 years now and make sure we get to Pizza Novara at LEAST once every trip. We’ve yet to have anything disappointing or less than amazing. We have an incredibly picky toddler who devours her pizza every single time!“

“Hands down, this was the best and most pleasant coffee shop experience I've ever had. My wife and I stopped in for breakfast, and from the moment we walked in, we were blown away by the service. The cashier was incredibly kind and provided some of the best customer service I've had in a long time.
We settled in with our cold brew coffees, a delicious chorizo burrito for me, and a sausage egg sandwich for my wife. The atmosphere was so nice—comfy and quiet, the perfect place to sit and relax. I really wish I could come here more often. This place is a true gem!“

“This is my first time trying Scramblin’ egg and let me tell you it is the best breakfast burrito out there and will totally be back and hopefully can stay as a brick and motor store as I think they will be successful at the Bloomington location!!!!“

“The London Fig was excellent. Perfect for a snowy cold day.“

“This is a convenient place for people taking the bus or train to the mall to get coffee during the daytime. It opens at 8 am for people who work at the mall or do mall walking before stores open. The downside is that it closes somewhat early at about 5 pm, so it doesn't work for evening visitors.

Parking: There's tons of parking here, but this location is best accessed by people taking transit or using the bike racks nearby. If you want to park here, use the elevator within the parking structure to access the transit level, as there isn't direct stairway access, and going into the mall and back down to the transit center can be confusing“

“Great service, delicious healthy food. Try the sambusa!“

“amazing store. there all hard workers“

“The absolute best customer service ANYWHERE! I can tell you … as a past employee there,,,,they do their best to fill a need but do it in a fun way! I was there for 25 years and as a top seller I can say it was the best 25 of my life. Yes, it’s a commissioned store but, they really DO see the customer. DO try to make it fun and get you what you need.“

“As someone who prefers the coffee at Caribou to the other major chain at Mall of America, I was happy to see Caribou represented here! Apparently I'm not the only Caribou fan, as the place was pretty crowed, but our drinks were prepared quickly and efficiently.“

“Favorite place to get boba tea!“

“I had a great experience at the Dunkin’ inside Mall of America! The staff were super friendly and efficient, even with a steady flow of customers. My coffee was made just the way I like it—fresh, smooth, and the perfect pick-me-up while shopping. The donuts were fresh and delicious, especially the classic glazed and Boston Kreme.
The location is clean, well-organized, and convenient to stop by during a mall visit. I also appreciated how quickly my order was ready despite it being busy. Definitely one of my favorite Dunkin' spots—great service, tasty food, and the perfect caffeine fix. Highly recommend if you’re in the mall and need a quick, satisfying break!“

“Great staff! Clean place. I love it!“

“I’ll admit, I was a little skeptical about Starbucks at first. The first time I tried their coffee was years ago in Hungary, and it didn’t leave much of an impression. But a few days ago, I went to the Starbucks at Mall of America, and wow—the coffee was amazing!

I ordered an iced caramel latte, and it was hands down one of the best versions I’ve ever had. Seriously, it was that good!

The only downside was the wait time. My friend and I waited about 20 minutes for our drinks, which felt way too long. Starbucks definitely needs to hire more staff to keep things moving faster. That said, the team working there was awesome—super friendly and clearly doing their best to keep up.

Overall, great coffee, great staff—just needs a little boost in speed. Thanks!“

“The employees are very professional and very efficient I really like the staff 💯😘😘“

“I've Been Here many of couple of times at Chatime Mall Of America they got the Best Boba Teas and Milk Lattes And they have Seasonal Drinks for every month of the year. Recommended for Everyone who really loves Boba Teas. ??❤️\\u200d??“

“You can’t go wrong here. Bubble tea is one of our favourite drinks. Go on Tuesday for double punches in your loyalty card!We highly recommend the passion fruit green tea, the mango green tea, the tropical island green tea, the passion fruit QQ, the Thai tea, and the ube créme brûlée milk tea. Pay the extra to get pearls in all of your drinks!“

“Hey y’all! Tii cup in West Saint Paul is now open and they’re all amazing. Show some love to their business.“
